2. Description of the Related Art A golf ball has a so-called thread rubber type in which a core formed by winding a thread rubber in a spherical shape is covered with a balata caver, and a hard rubber ball core having a high coefficient of restitution has a tear resistance and Resin cover with excellent wear resistance
The so-called solid type, which is generally coated with a rubber, is generally popular among golfers because the latter is superior in flight distance.

[0003] However, solid golf balls are
There is still room for improvement, such as a relatively hard feel when hitting, and the difficulty of spinning a hit ball with a short iron, and the following improved examples are known. The first is a structure in which a relatively thin resin intermediate layer having a lower hardness than the cover is disposed between the core and the cover.

Second, in a structure in which the resin intermediate layer is disposed between a core and a cover, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
As shown in JP-A-216270, small projections are provided on the entire surface of an intermediate layer (hereinafter referred to as an inner cover), and the outside thereof is covered with a cover (hereinafter referred to as an outer cover). As a similar structure, there has been proposed a structure in which small projections are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cover and protrude into the inner cover. Also in this case, the inner cover is usually made of a resin material having a lower hardness than the outer cover, and the height of the projection, when provided on the inner cover, is slightly lower than the thickness of the outer cover.
Also, when it is provided on the outer cover side, it is often set slightly lower than the thickness of the inner cover. By doing so, the outer cover material is interposed between the protrusions extending from the inner cover,
Alternatively, since the inner cover material is interposed between the protrusions extending from the outer cover, when the golf ball is viewed in the radial direction, the portion of the small protrusion is a third type having the property of mixing the outer cover and the inner cover. The layer will be substantially present.

Such a structure in which a large number of protrusions extend from the inner cover into the outer cover or from the outer cover into the inner cover has hit the ball described above. Although some improvements have been seen in terms of the feel at impact and the difficulty in applying spins, it is not enough, and there is still room for improvement. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and when hitting with a short iron having an improved hit feeling and a large loft, the spin to the ball increases, while hitting with a small loft, particularly a driver. It is another object of the present invention to provide a golf ball having excellent flight performance, in which the spin is hardly applied and the flight distance can be increased.
